The arrival of the new BMW M5 and BMW M5 Competition sees the high-performance sedans from BMW M GmbH returning to the stage in even sharper form. With its stylistic fine-tuning, an operating concept honed to good effect and a central display enlarged to 12.3 inches, the new BMW M5 is a more compelling proposition than ever. Featuring new shock absorbers from the BMW M8 Gran Coupé and a retuned chassis, the immensely powerful and dynamic BMW M5 Competition offers even better driveability and handling at the limit, combined with superior comfort levels. As a result, the BMW M5 and BMW M5 Competition blend a business sedan's unruffled everyday usability with unbeatable highperformance sports car dynamics to alluring effect.Like the other models in the BMW 5 Series line-up, the new BMW M5 and BMW M5 Competition both sport an updated, new-look BMW kidney grille. The LED headlights and LED rear lights also have a sharper appearance, while the front apron - with its large air intakes - and the rear apron have been sculpted to even more dramatic effect. Inside the cabin, the larger central touchscreen display immediately catches the eye. The straightforward method of individually configuring and selecting various driving modes via two buttons in the centre console has been adopted from the BMW M8.In the BMW M5, the 4.4-litre V8 engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology generates 441 kW/600 hp, while in the BMW M5 Competition the high-revving unit produces 460 kW/625 hp. Credit for negotiating the dynamic tightrope between full everyday usability on the one hand and driving pleasure and exceptional track performance on the other goes to the M xDrive system and its centralised intelligent control approach for the Active M Differential. As an alternative to variable all-wheel-drive mode (4WD) with its rear-biased baseline setup, handling characteristics can be altered by varying degrees up to 2WD mode. This pure rear-wheel drive setting without DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) treats accomplished drivers to completely unadulterated driving pleasure.
BMW M GmbH unveiled the most powerful and sportiest version yet of its high-performance BMW M5 sedan. The new BMW M5 Competition raises the bar for dynamism, agility and precision in its class. With engine output upped to 460 kW/625 hp (an increase of 19 kW/25 hp on the new BMW M5), even sharper response and bespoke chassis tuning, a driving experience with motor racing undertones is guaranteed at all times. The new BMW M5 Competition succeeds in blending supreme performance and a superbly exclusive aura with the unruffled ease in everyday use for which BMW M models are renowned.
The new BMW M5 takes driving dynamics into a new dimension. Making its debut in the sixth generation of the highperformance sedan is the new M-specific all-wheel-drive system M xDrive. Not...
Trois mois se sont écoulés depuis l'éruption virale qui a anéanti 99,9% de la population mondiale, transformant ses victimes en zombies mangeurs de chair fraîche. Au Royaume-Uni, un groupe de survivants composé de soldats et de civils a trouvé refuge dans une base militaire en rase campagne. La vie dans ce nouveau monde est rude et brutale, mais l'espoir renaît lorsque le groupe arrive à intercepter un message reçu depuis une base militaire sur la côte selon lequel un havre de paix existerait quelque part en Europe.... Leur voyage s’avère périlleux à travers des paysages ravagés par la mort, où les morts-vivants sont en nombre et imposent leur propre sens de l'ordre. Ce qui suit est un voyage dans l'enfer et une bataille désespérée pour la survie même de la race humaine.
With an official fuel economy figure of almost 150mpg, and the ability to run on electric power for up to 25 miles, the BMW 330e is an intriguing proposition
